Floyd Mayweather Sr. hints that Juan Manuel Marquez may have slowed down enough for Mike Alvarado to take advantage

Despite much uncertainty surrounding his career following his tough loss to Tim Bradley this past October, Mexico City’s Juan Manuel Marquez has decided to push forward with his boxing career.
The 40-year old Marquez vehemently opposed his split-decision loss to Bradley and will have no easy task come May 17 when he meets former title holder Mike Alvarado inside of the Forum in Los Angeles.
Early predictions on the fight have thus far seen people leaning towards Marquez’s experience as a key edge over Alvarado but not everyone is sold on the veteran in this matchup.
Catching up with brazen trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. recently, he expressed his belief that Marquez is beginning to slow down in the wake of the Bradley setback.
“I could say this right here, I don’t know what Marquez got, but lately, after the Pacquiao fight, things aint been looking that good to me,” Mayweather Sr. stated. “Everything’s slowing down. He’s beginning to show his age a little bit.”
Marquez produced an electrifying knockout over Pacquiao in December of 2012 in a wild fight that he was losing at the time and Mayweather Sr. is unsure if he can still offer up the same kind of magic.
“We’ve seen how he put Pacquiao out,” Mayweather Sr. explained. “I don’t know what else he got. Can he do that again? It’s going to be a very interesting fight.”
As for a fifth meeting between Marquez and Pacquiao, Mayweather Sr. has his share of curiosity.
“It would definitely be interesting,” he explained. “What he did to Pacquiao, we need to see what else he got. We don’t know. We’ve got to wait and see.”
